Quickie short read.
Mary Balogh.
Regency.
"The Arrangement" - Young blind hero being coddled-to-death by his loving relatives meets orphaned-poor-relation companion whose self-esteem was shredded to tatters by her exacting aristocratic relatives. With each other as support, they decide to strive for independence.
On the sweet side, but there is something subtly alluring in damaged people finding redemption by discovering the strength to rescue each other. It makes each realize their own inner strength when they can (finally) play hero to someone else. They 'save' one another, are nicely equal, and are the better for it.
No great conflict in the story, just slow healing.
Yes, I have a high tolerance for the saccharine.
